Not in Oregon it’s not. Source: I live here. I watch it DAILY.
The #1 problem we have is that there’s NO incentive to get treatment. If you get caught with drugs it’s a $100 fine and that fine gets waived if you call a toll free number and ask about treatment. You don’t actually have to GET treatment, all you have to do is ASK about getting treatment.
16,000 people ticketed, 137 called the treatment line. Tons of people using the free needle exchange and naloxone though.

If the entire world does something successfully and you don’t. Where do you think the problem lies?
The entire world has universal healthcare, think that might be the difference? 🤔
That’s definitely part of it. Decriminalization was always supposed to be paired with treatment.
